Since it's a demo mill.... how about a "Will it Mill" series showing a bunch of different materials and cuts? Show us what the little guy can do and (more importantly) what it can't!

It's really nice to hear your excitement and laugh! It's contagious. NYCCNC is on my channel top list, ranked 1st without competition.

Didn't think you could stand waiting to make a cut and video it. 😊 Thanks, John

It is good to hear some excitement in your voice.

I just started watching some of your videos, and they are fantastic! Especially the suppressor series, it's the only one like it on KZfaq! If only people had the enthusiasm for life the way you have about machining.

This is a fairly surprising machine to me... Probably, actually... ABSOLUTELY the single most impressive PCNC development I have seen among all the manufacturers out there. I cant wait to get this. A mill I can afford at this point, and clearly, something I can push to extremes.

John, I love the excitement and can't wait to watch you put that baby through all sorts of ops. I have been trying to figure out how to fit an 1100 into my garage. Now I think I'll start off with the 440 and see if it will fill the bill. Anxious to see it in December at training! Thank you Patreon!

Impressive, looking forward to some more cuts and testing..

Like a kid at Christmas. Another great video. Keep up the good work.

Well, that settles it then... Time to get the 440 fund in action! Glad the shipping miscue didn't slow things down much! Best wishes, Tom Z

Was really excited to see this, and I'll be keeping a close eye on your upcoming videos on this machine! We might just be thinking about going for a bigger mill (currently just have a little Sherline) - tossup between a Syil, which at least is stocked over here, and the Tormach. I'm liking the Tormach more and more...

Hey this is exactly the video i needed how i know nyccnc would come up thank John for the help earlier and this video!!

Plug & play! Very cool, love this option.

It does seem to cut well. I will have to go to the tormach site and see what the specs are. Thanks for sharing.

Lol, no Jared to help back then? Miss you guys. Get a class together that explains the use and some tips for your pallet fixture plates. I need a great reason to come on out for more great training with my dayjob's blessing (paid expenses). Your classes have made it so clear in the past year, I almost have things paid off and I'm helping my dayjob get quick 2 or 3 day results to prove concepts. Thank you John, you have showed me that I can take advantage of the great potential of these affordable machines. AND thank God for the ATC!! as it makes life so easy! THIS is my all time favorite video only because it reminds me of why I got into buying a Tormach.

So all we need now is the link to the tormach store where you get your percentage :) thanks for the first look John.

What happened to the under 5 grand bare bones machine they originally announced? Cheapest I see is a basic package at $7,000.

Cool stuff John! You seem a little excited...:)

Nice mill John I really like the size of it and it seems very rigid grtz

Beautiful machine I hope to own one myself one day.

Cool little machine, John. My little home made mill does 6600 RPM on the spindle. When I went to my bigger mill, I am stuck with 4500. While it does okay in aluminum, I sure miss that speed of the little mill. 10,000 RPM on this one is right where it should be. Cudo's to Tormach for that foresight. Now lets have some fun with it. You mentioned you might need coolant for chip evacuation? I think not. ;) A broom might do a better job.

WOW! that was cool.

John, you just had your first chipgasm!

Very impressive!!

Yea looks like I'm gonna have to order the enclosure as well

Sweet, thats a little gem.

This little guy reminds me of a machine I checked out a few months back designed specifically for secondary ops. If we were still making gun parts on our lathes we would have probably picked one up to run the 2nd ops on. Pricing was a bit steep but it literally was a mini machining center that could be moved around with the included pallet jack. haha

Looking forward to unboxing/setup of your retail 440 when it arrives! I am thinking about getting this one; mostly worried about getting it into my basement without a hoist...

Have you got plans to put it on a more solid bench? When you were rapiding it around, the whole machine was wobbling...probably won't do much for you finish cuts. Normally CNC's are put on a big concrete base. Nice machine though. Thanks for the videos. Dan.

Steel cutting is my biggest concern and the only thing keeping me from sounding like you, John. I was recently laid off and am now seriously looking at starting my own shop so the timing on this 440 is nearly perfect. But steel cutting is my concern so anything you can demonstrate for that would be seriously appreciated. Thx! -Brad K

Can sure shift metal! Fit a tool changer John, and your production capacity goes up exponentially!

Amazing, I will get to see a 110 and 440 in pasedena,california this next weekend. Can you try to make up a program to threadmill an #0-80 hole, I am so interested in this machine but scared because my work requires #0-80 in a lot of parts!

Years late would you still recommend the machine or do you know if they’re coming out with a newer version?

how sturdy is that base? trying to find something more economical than tormachs base. any recommendations?

very exiting !

Very nice!

Are you using constant engagement toolpaths?

How would you say the noise is on this machine compared to a belt grinder? I've found a low grit belt grinder on steel is borderline too noisy for my loft, so I'm nervous about finding a sound solution before I purchase.

lol Funny to see it on a Sam's Club Seville Classics drawer unit!

Hi!. My company is thinking of buying a 440 for our r&d department. We do have a lot of experience with 3d an laser cutting but non with milling... how dificult do you think it will be for a novice in milling to make it work, time wise?

So jealous you got yours early. I preordered and can't wait!

I would like to have one in my garage for shure :) But can it cut steel (1017,1018) D2?

Amazing! Very high want-factor on this machine! Are you getting the 4th axis as well?

Hello John, i am starting out and now that you have a mill without the TTS system i can ask this question. lol How do you set up a program to change tools and re zero between tool changes? It's pretty confusing to me and i havent really made anything CNC because of that problem. Any help would be awesome or a push in the right direction. Thanks. Awesome mill by the way!

That some proper chips flying :3

What type of tool box do you use for base?

I'd imagine this would be a good hobby CNC machine for 80% lower. I love your videos by the way. You make this English major slightly regret his career choice XP.

John, Tormach's website still has the 440 listed as out of stock...any idea when they will be available for sale?

Steel test cuts pretty please John!

do you think this is a good machine for beginners? if not what would you recommend?

Im confused. Don't you have a warehouse? Any I would love to get random sample data on decibels for specific cuts as I am reluctant to get a machine for home because of the noise and my neighbours. If you could do that I would be extremely helpful. Edit omg, I'm in love! I need one in 🇦🇺

Cool 👍👍👍

what is the software called what u use to control it via the PC would it work with grbl?

looks like a great little office mill! Is it set up to allow for flood?

How much is one of those for 230 volt, shipped to Scandinavia?

So this machine can mill a piece of aluminum that is 10"x6"x4" thick?

Do you offer any training?

actually, it with the 770 has a better removal rate then the 1100 just cant run bigger cutters. I still babey mine. But just got a haas mini mill, i should be able to get in trouble with that..

Wow, small enough to put on a tool cart. You could take that on-site for some rapid prototyping.

Awesome :-)

you are resting this on a tool trolley?

HEY JOHN WHERES THE 440 NOW

LOL I bet you had some second thoughts about running with the guards open after you saw how those chips flew around the shop. One good thing: I expect the chips were large enough that they didn't actually get inside the keyboard.

CAM?

Another alum..., Can you try facing Ti ? I'll buy if you can cut/facing Ti with smooth cut :).

Hi john what happened to your other CNC tormach

What about the style of bed you have on your 1100 wouldn't that be possible to make one for this machine because of the enclosure

I love your mission you hiring people I want to join your team

cool.

man.... i wish i had 7k laying around

I see an XCarve, will there be xcarve vids?

Well, what the money is capable to do. My father always said: "- The only difference between a children and a man is their toys prices.

Aha! Dynamic milling. What Cadcam do you use?

Someday... :)

Safety first

Neat looking machine. Love the 10K spindle and fast rapids. I got pretty sick of all the "Oh My Gods" in the video. I found those pretty offensive by the time it was over.

I thought your goal was to expand into a production machine shop?

Whats that music at start?

I want

You can easily run it at double that feed rate

Hey John, great video. Question, I am considering getting a tormach 440 vs a taig or this Japanese one, kitmill ast200 please see link. (www.originalmind.co.jp/products/kitmill_ast) What do you think? I need a table top sized setup for quick prototyping and maybe small volume production. Will be cutting plastics, aluminum and stainless. Tolerances of a minimum of .002" ball park I gotta say the Japanese mill looks pretty impressive for it's size factor

What's the price on this unit John? Wish I lived in the states :-( Freight to Australia would be murder let alone the shithouse Aussie dollar!

why don't any of you youtubers make videos cutting steps, pockets and holes and measure the locations and dimensions of the parts with accurate measurement tools so potential buyers can really see how close of tolerances can be held in aluminum vs steel on the 440.

you need a slow mo cam

are you going to let your man use (cant rember his name) it, or is it just your new toy he get`s the 1100 to use

I could have done that with a hacksaw and some sandpaper for way less money

You made a BIG mess!! LOL

7 grand is a lot of money for a milling toy!

Tormach shill

John Stop messing around with the Chinese mills and buy a Haas 650 ipm. +- .0002 You can make some real money, you are talented and smart. You can get financing at like 5% for 6 years and its yours. You only need to clear an extra 700-1400 mo/ and with 883 ipm on a VF2 you should be able to really make some chips. That 440 is for serious hobbyist, you have been doing this long enough , you left the hobbyist level long ago. Buy American ! BTW I think the Fusion 360 is perfect for a small job shop turning out one offs and best of all it's priced right. I use it for engraving parts, it's fast. My TopSolid is ok for engraving but too much work for so little. Come on dude !! go for it. you won't regret it. If you want me to hook you up with a good finance company let me know?
